12-pocket pages with 2x2's. I like the small ones more
The proofs cause the most problems as I've got nowhere to put them.
Simple list of coins put on the net for easy reference (country/denomination/year/condition).

Hello, this is just my second post. I have a Dansco album for wheat cents 1909-1958 with the slide covers. This looks good, but dust and bits of cardboard get stuck to the insides of the slides. I also have the following Whitman folders:
Lincoln Cents 1959-1974, Starting 1975, Jef. Nickels 1938-1961, 61-95, and a blank nickel book for newer than '95. Also Wash. Quarters '65-'87 and '88-'98. I have a binder with baseball card holders (sheets) for foreign coins, and another binder for old U.S. coins that I don't have a book for yet. Those cardboard 2x2 holders fit perfect in the baseball card slots.
And of course I have shoeboxes for wheat pennies, old nickels...

Also, I just started searching rolls for nickels, only about 15 rolls so far, and already two Buffalo nickels, a 1940 Fine, and a whole roll of EF-AU 2005D Bison Rev. Nickels.

I opted for the Dansco Albums early on in my collecting. I like the way they look, and they're convenient for looking at both sides of your coins.
I only collect one coin for one hole, and I've used the Dansco Albums as my guide - if a page has an empty hole, find an affordable coin for it. I've been able to complete several sets (primarily circulated coins) in this way. Also, I don't buy an album for a set until I have at least 2 dozen coins for it, and, then, the album with all of those other empty holes gives me an incentive to work on that set - fill them holes!!

Hi malibu, I have developed a similar excel spreadsheet which, once set up, is very easy to maintain and also values the entire set with each upgrade or new coin. It works well a my 'want sheet' and lets me know how much to pay to upgrade a particular coin. As for photos I haven't gone that far yet but as with everything else it's 'work in progress'.
regards
